Biography
Adolfo Franco was born in Cardenas, Cuba in 1956, and his family emigrated to the United States in 1961. He became an attorney for Shughart, Thomson & Kilroy in 1983, and he became an assistant administrator for the Latin America and the Caribbean Bureau at USAID in 2002. In 2008, he served as a foreign and development policy advisor to Republican presidential nominee John McCain. He later became a conservative political commentator on CNN, and, in August 2019, he criticized his fellow commentators for berating Donald Trump for attacking Sherrod Brown, Nan Whaley, and Beto O'Rourke during his visits to the sites of mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton; the other commentators criticized Trump for being inappropriately divisive, while Franco claimed that Trump was simply responding to criticism and was being treated unfairly.
